skint, but chucked in the rough equivalent of a drink. The least I could do after all the free stuff I've watched down the years. Hope to buy it when its out though & eventually in a future life make it to a live show.

V true. Although, everyone smoked when I was a teenager. The steps outside after youth orchestra rehearsals was literally about 30 14-18yr olds puffing away before we all decamped to drink pints at wherever in Waterloo would turn a blind eye to me and a few others looking about 8yrs old đ

*dry JAN. (not jam⊠although Iâd also v much look forward to dry jam being over)

Oh yes absolutely - was just drawing the parallel btwn dry jam and quitting smoking for a portion of time just merely looking forward to it finishing. Strikes me as similar to fasting⊠the doing of the actual thing just makes you look forward to it being over.

An exam paper, or farting through your lips down a pipe a bit more than usual for a few weeks - ideal motivation!

A strong merit! Lovely jubbly. What robbed you of a distinction - pieces? Scales? Sightreading? Aural?

Will there be cheering instead of jeering for those who ring the bell for the next stop as early as possible - as the bus is just pulling away from the current stop?

wonderful. Puts the constant fretting about if we're at 44.1 or 48k into perspective

its like proper 5yr old fibbing. He surely must be able to read between the lines & see that he was asked that question because they knew that he knew him.

Bit late, but last night I was at my local - which does Murphyâs as well as Guinness. And some Tim Taylor ale, and also Five Points XPA. I had one of each - and my kids woke up at 5am. đ«Ł

you need to try Kernel table beer (the stuff I have stocked in my studio). Its between 2.8 and 3.2.... its sensational. Even ignoring the fact its lowish in alcohol, its absolutely up there with my favourite beers.

Someone posted a "poem" by William Shakespeare the other day. I said it wasn't Shakespeare and she proudly showed me AI proof that it was. And that's because it has been posted since 2012 and therefore AI can trawl the internet and find that "proof". AI is just an aggregator of internet stuff.

I am not joking but this theme song was a studio conversational reference when I was doing horns on a song last year. Out later this year at some point!

Iâve always found admin v difficult . I have to sit down at a computer for HOURS to carefully & slowly read it all and do it all / reply / update / do forms. I find it v difficult to take on info or do all of the above on my phone on the go.
I long for the days of:
Email.
Texts.
Paper diary.

âŠagree. And then every live project - from a function band youâve done 2 gigs with to a band with a full blown touring schedule - wants to add you their own google calendar. All with different colour coding. And then mastertour. Oh and lets throw in GDrive/dropbox/iCloud. A complete nightmare.

I have one that chants âhere we go, here we go, here we goâ when used

also - its funny as hell when a brass player fucks up. Its literally hilarious, and we should be encouraged to laugh about it as a way of shrugging it off as early as possible in our development as musicians.

I'm convinced some of the best moments I have had with students when I've been teaching are when I accidentally fuck up when demonstrating, mis-read, split a note, play like crap, say something the wrong way round, etc etc then I say 'right, your turn - you can do it better than me'.

Rich people areât necessarily clever. Theyâre good at accumulating money. This has never been clearer. Especially when we have whole generations completely unable to deal with navigating social media, those with huge followerships particularly falling brain first into pits of mania & addiction.

the meaning of life is to have meaning in your life. And if you don't want to have a sort of driving meaning in your life, that in itself is a kind of meaning "to not have meaning in life". You can't escape meaning.
Meaning. Meaning meaning meaning.

Post a concert picture you took this year.
Glastonbury. I forget the name of the stage. From the Haircut 100 horns riser.
